Abstract

In its bid to continue to make the globe a planet of peace, security and prosperity for all, the UNO developed the Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015. However, a perennial threat to the realization of this dream, in the developing countries, particularly in Nigeria, is the scourge of insurgency which has grown significantly in sophistication. The continuous insurgency by Boko Haram terror group which the Nigerian government has been grappling with since 2009, only confirms the failure of the counter-insurgency strategy adopted by the government so far. The research discovered that Boko Haram incessant terror strikes have been threatening almost all the basic issues that constitute the SDGs such as eradication of poverty and hunger, good health, quality education, clean water and sanitation and economic growth among others and made their achievement a mere illusion. Hence, the research proposed that in addition to military approach, a comprehensive strategy such as; addressing the conditions that gave rise to insurgency, application of intelligence, good governance and international cooperation would be required to guarantee sustainable counter-insurgency and pave the way for the achievement of the SDGs in Nigeria. The study adopted analytical and descriptive research design for data collection and analysis
